"Marlène Soria's master cuvée, a vintage full of finesse".

"He starts out in life with a bit more muscle than Belle Léone. It seems more complete but less open. Let's not talk about this cuvée's aromatic festival; it's right up there with finer tannins than in the past." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve 2024). Sensuality and extreme complexity sum up this superb cuvée!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (guide 2024) 98/100

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the wine:

He starts life with a little more muscle than Belle Léone. It seems more complete but less open. Let's not talk about this cuvée's aromatic festival: it's there, with finer tannins than in the past.

About the domain :

This farm, lost at the end of an untraceable road, is run by Marlène Soria using organic methods. Marlène produces three red wines predominantly from Syrah: clos-des-cistes, syrah-léone and, since the 2003 vintage, marlène-n°3 on a new terroir. Les-cistes comes from the highest part of the estate, on very hard, stony soils. This cuvée has more acidity than syrah-léone, which is planted on more friable rock that is easily penetrated by water: it is often the most sensual cuvée. Marlène-n°3 is neither a third nor a second wine. The estate's third plantation, it is certainly the best planted of the parcels, with a higher proportion of Grenache, and is the one that gains the most from ageing. In white, oro is made with rolle, roussanne and viognier, complemented by several other Languedoc grape varieties. If Peyre Rose had to be given a synonym, it would surely be a thousand and one nights, so bewitching are the finishes.

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)

About the wine:

The domaine has signed some very fine 2021s, now very open. Cistes offers a larder, with its notes of cold soot and meat juices and a surprisingly silky mouthfeel for a ten-year-old Peyre Rose.

About the domain :

In the heart of the garrigue, southwest of Montpellier, Marlène Soria has been writing one of the region's most inspiring wine stories for over forty years. After a career in real estate, the neo-winegrower settled in Saint-Pargoire in 1980, to get closer to plants and away from the world. A tireless pioneer, she quickly planted vines around her property. Within three years, some 17 hectares of vines had taken root. The property now totals 24. Extremely respectful viticulture was an immediate priority. At Marlène Soria, patience is the order of the day, with very long, unobtrusive maturation periods to allow the patina of time to do its work. The reds are energetic, taut and full-bodied, requiring time to calm their youthful ardor. They express a formidable paradox, between fragrant, delicate aromatics and abundant muscle. As for the white Oro, the estate's golden door, its mouthfeel is refined every year, for renewed tactile and aromatic emotions. A little rarity, as much for its unique profile as for the very small volumes produced.
